Third Wednesday of Advent

He proclaimed, "The one who is coming is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals."  Mark 1:7

in your lowness,
   you bend down
to pry loose
      sin's grip
   on our souls,
tripping death so
      it falls flat
on its
   foolishness.
